Kings XI Punjab and Sunrisers Hyderabad will aim to gain back their winning momentum when they meet each other for the upcoming match in Mohali.
Young Windies fast-bowler Alzarri Joseph made a dream debut against Sunrisers Hyderabad as he returned the best bowling figures in the competition’s history on his debut. Joseph helped his team Mumbai Indians seal a 40-run victory against the Sunrisers Hyderabad in a low-scoring affair at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.
For Chennai Super Kings, Harbhajan Singh took three wickets while Imran Tahir and Ravindra Jadeja contributed with their economical spells to defend a total of 160 against Kings XI Punjab. Although Ravichandran returned figures of 3/23 to hinder the innings of the Chennai Super Kings before Mahendra Singh Dhoni finished off in style. An additional 38-ball 54 scored by Faf du Plessis denied KXIP a victory in their last match.
Hence in the coming match both the teams would come out all guns blazing when KXIP hosts SRH in Mohali.
It is hard to breach CSK fortress in Chepauk: R Ashwin
“It’s very hard ground to come and break the fortress of CSK. I have been saying this for years. That’s why I said we had the game under control for a very long time. We were in the chase. I am sure the boys will get better,” he said.
Things get difficult if you keep dropping catches: Bhuvneshwar Kumar
“It could have been an easy chase had we fielded properly. I think it started off when we dropped Pollard, he scored 25-30 runs.,” Bhuvneshwar Kumar said.
